16 After this is done, he takes the basket of stones and pours them on 
top | of this; and after that is done, he lights the fire under it. As | 
soon as it begins to burn, he cuts the mountain-goat meat into 
slices, | and he cuts holes in them so that they will cook quickly. | 
20 When this is done, he takes two buckets and draws | fresh water. 
He brings them back and puts them near the fire for heating stones. | 
Then he takes his tongs, so as to have them ready, and | he takes 
many old mats, which he puts down. Now | all the stones are white- 
25 hot. Then he takes his tongs || and picks off from the fire the wood 
that has been burned. After | it has all been taken off, he levels 
off the top of the red-hot stones. After | this has been done, he takes 
hemlock-branches and lays them down over the | red-hot stones. 
When there is a thick layer of hemlock-branches, he takes | thin slices 
30 of goat-meat and spreads them over it; || and when (the hemlock- 
branches) are all covered, he takes split cedar-wood and puts it down 
crosswise | over the meat which is spread over the hemlock-branches, 
in this way: | Then he takes the goat-meat and spreads | it 
over the pieces which are two spans square. When | (the 
meat) is all on, he takes old mats for covering it, and || 
35 spreads them dean AS the side of it. As soon as Bor wnane is 
ready, | he takes up the buckets with water and empties them
